Have you ever gone star climbing?  Well…what are you waiting for?  Tonight, when you tuck your young one into bed and open this book for story time, you will embark on a star climbing adventure of epic proportions.    Take a journey with the little boy in the book to a celestial playground where magical star creatures exist.  The little boy meets Leo, Ursa Major, Pisces, Draco, Pegasus, and Cygnus on his journey towards sleep.

Each star creature is made up of the star constellations we see in the night sky and help your young person to identify them as he or she gazes at the stars.  The illustrations are beautifully rendered in brilliant blues and sparkling starlight.  As your young person progresses through the book, the language is soothing and creates a wonderfully calm atmosphere for children to gently fall asleep.  You will kill two birds with one stone by getting your young tyke interested in stargazing and lulling him or her into a sleep filled with lovely dreams of adventures in the sky.

There is a section at the back of the book with the main constellations described and diagrams so that your child can find them in the night sky.  They even tell the origin myths people used to create the star creatures long ago from Roman Mythology.
